Let's divide 589956 by 972
Our goal is to divide 589956 by 972.

Advancing to step 1:
The number 972 fits into 5 0 times, leaving a remainder of 5.
The number 0 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 0.0
The remainder is 5 after subtracting 0 from 5.
Fetch the next digit (8) from the dividend, attach it to 5 and continue: 58 / 972

Moving on to step 2:
972 can be fit into 58 0 times, resulting in a remainder of 58.
Record the quotient 0 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
If we take 0 away from 58, we end up with 58.
Grab the next digit (9) from the dividend, add it to 58, then carry on: 589 / 972

Step 3:
If we divide 589 by 972, we get 0 and a remainder of 589.
Put 0 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 0.0
Subtract 0 from 589 to get 589.
Take the next digit (9) from the dividend and append it to 589, then repeat: 5899 / 972

Moving on to step 4:
If we divide 5899 by 972, we get 6 and a remainder of 67.
The next digit of our result is 6. 
Result so far: 6.0
Deduct 5832 from 5899 and we're left with 67.
Fetch the next digit (5) from the dividend, attach it to 67 and continue: 675 / 972

Advancing to step 5:
972 goes into 675 0 times with a remainder of 675.
Write down 0 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 60.0
The remainder is 675 after subtracting 0 from 675.
Append the next digit (6) from the dividend to 675 and continue with: 6756 / 972

Advancing to step 6:
If we divide 6756 by 972, we get 6 and a remainder of 924.
The next digit of our result is 6. 
Result so far: 606.0
Subtract 5832 from 6756 to get 924.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 9240, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 7:
972 goes into 9240 9 times with a remainder of 492.
Record the quotient 9 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 606.9
Deduct 8748 from 9240 and we're left with 492.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 4920, and continue the process.

On to step 8:
4920 divided by 972 is 5 with a remainder of 60.
The number 5 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 606.95
Subtracting 4860 from 4920 leaves us with 60.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 600, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 9:
When dividing 600 by 972, we get 0 with a remainder of 600.
Put 0 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 606.95
Subtract 0 from 600 to get 600.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 6000, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 10:
972 can be fit into 6000 6 times, resulting in a remainder of 168.
Put 6 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 606.9506
If we take 5832 away from 6000, we end up with 168.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 1680, and continue the process.

On to step 11:
972 can be fit into 1680 1 times, resulting in a remainder of 708.
The next digit of our result is 1. 
Result so far: 606.95061
The remainder is 708 after subtracting 972 from 1680.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 7080, and continue the process.

Step 12:
972 can be fit into 7080 7 times, resulting in a remainder of 276.
Put 7 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 606.950617
Deduct 6804 from 7080 and we're left with 276.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 2760, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 13:
When dividing 2760 by 972, we get 2 with a remainder of 816.
Put 2 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 606.9506172
If we subtract 1944 from 2760, we get 816.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 8160, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 14:
972 goes into 8160 8 times with a remainder of 384.
Use 8 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 606.95061728
Subtracting 7776 from 8160 leaves us with 384.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 3840, and continue the process.

Our division results in 606.95061728 with a remaining 3.84e-07.
